Job description

Who we are

Gatik, the leader in autonomous middle-mile logistics, is revolutionizing the B2B supply chain with its autonomous transportation-as-a-service (ATaaS) solution and prioritizing safe, consistent deliveries while streamlining freight movement by reducing congestion. The company focuses on short-haul, B2B logistics for Fortune 500 retailers and in 2021 launched the world's first fully driverless commercial transportation service with Walmart. Gatik's Class 3-7 autonomous trucks are commercially deployed across major markets, including Texas, Arkansas, and Ontario, Canada, driving innovation in freight transportation. 

The company's proprietary Level 4 autonomous technology, Gatik Carrier, is custom-built to transport freight safely and efficiently between pick-up and drop-off locations on the middle mile. With robust capabilities in both highway and urban environments, Gatik Carrier serves as an all-encompassing solution that integrates advanced software and hardware powering the fleet, facilitating effortless integration into customers' logistics operations.

What You'll Do

  • Engineering Feedback: Record software and hardware behavior clearly to help refine autonomous technology.
  • Proactive Ownership: Escalate risks early, follow through on maintenance requests, and take full responsibility for vehicle readiness.

What We're Looking For

  • Experience: 3+ years of professional driving experience, including 1+ year in 26-30 ft box trucks (Required).
  • Licensing: Valid CDL and clean Motor Vehicle Record (Required).
  • Safety & Ownership Mindset: Commitment to prioritizing safety and fleet integrity over speed.
  • Tech Proficiency: Comfortable with Samsara ELD, timecard tools, Slack, email, and diagnostic apps.
  • Communication: Clear report writing, precise DVIR record-keeping, and strong vendor communication skills.
  • Physical Ability: Excellent agility and reaction time to move quickly within confined cab seating without disturbing controls.
  • Cab Access: Ability to repeatedly mount and dismount 26-30 ft trucks using 3-point contact.
  • Requirements: Variable/rotating shift availability; must pass background check and drug screening; open to working through agency partners.

Why You'll Love Working With Us

  • Local routes - home daily
  • Weekly pay
  • Competitive wages
  • Solid benefits package
  • Unlimited opportunities for growth
  • Drive at the forefront of autonomous trucking.

Requirement: (Open availability is required)More about Gatik

Founded in 2017 by experts in autonomous vehicle technology, Gatik has rapidly expanded its presence to Mountain View, Dallas-Fort Worth, Arkansas, and Toronto. As the first and only company to achieve fully driverless middle-mile commercial deliveries, Gatik holds a unique and defensible position in the AV industry, with a clear trajectory toward sustainable growth and profitability.

We have delivered complete, proprietary AV technology - an integration of software and hardware - to enable earlier successes for our clients in constrained Level 4 autonomy.  By choosing the middle mile - with defined point-to-point delivery, we have simplified some of the more complex AV challenges, enabling us to achieve full autonomy ahead of competitors. Given extensive knowledge of Gatik's well-defined, fixed route ODDs and hybrid architecture, we are able to hyper-optimize our models with exponentially less data, establish gate-keeping mechanisms to maintain explainability, and ensure continued safety of the system for unmanned operations.
